Pitt recently saw its matchup with Florida State scheduled for Saturday postponed due to a positive COVID-19 test within the Florida State program, and it appeared that would leave the team without plans for the weekend. However, the ACC announced on Wednesday that Pitt will face Virginia to fill the void in its schedule.
The announcement from the ACC followed the postponement of Virginia’s matchup with Louisville. That postponement was due to a positive COVID-19 test within the Louisville program, and it left Virginia free on the same day as Pitt. And as a result, the decision was made to push up a game between the Panthers and Cavaliers that was originally scheduled for Feb.
